COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuo3iiy aiornin?:, August 9,1870. ' Ttl? View OX ? Northern Democratic Organ. The reform movement in South Caro Una hos been and is opposed by ultra Democrats in the State, because of that feature in the platform which recog? nizes negro suffrage as an accomplished faot. Bead the extract from the Now York World. It will be seen that this D?mo? cratie organ advises the Southern people to this course. This is sound advice. lu our judgment, the reform movement deserves the support alike of honest men of all parties. The Canvim, To-day Judge Carpenter, General But? ler and others will address our friends at Lexington. Donbtless Lexington, with her true and tried voters, will turu out en masse. Let them attend the meeting. Eloquent voices will bo raised to remind them of the evils under which they labor and of the considerations that invite them to a grand and united effort at tho polls. And let us remind the good people of Bichland that one week from to-day-on the 16th instant-tho meeting appointed for this County and this city will tako p?acft? We invite a general attendanco alike of white and colored voters. Lot the meeting be a largo and imposing one. ?3re central County of tho State and the capital should be shown fully alive to the emergency. The effort now making by the Reformists looks to the public interests and seeks to build these interests upon a broad and sure founda? tion. Let all como who desire to judge for themselves os to what is their duty. The Conservative Victory In North Caro? lina. Oar sympathies, like our charity, should begin at home. More important, therefore, to us, and more interesting than Prussian victory, or French defeat, is the news from the "Old North State." The party of the infamous Holdeu, in spite of Kirk's minions and Grant's troops, has been gloriously defeated, and the Democrats, or rather conserva? tives, have carried the day. It is stated that the anti-radioals have elected fire, out of sereu Congressmen, and have a two-thirds majority in both branches ol the Legislature. We heartily congratu? late tho people of North Carolina upou this result. North Carolina's redemp? tion is drawing nigh. Holden aud his party have their days numbered. Virgi? nia saved, North Carolina redeemed ano Georgia safe; but let the good work go on, until ?outh Carolina, Florida, Mis? sissippi and Louisiaua, bursting the bauds of radical mis-rule, shall bring the South nuder thoso wholesome influences that shall insure to her people an ora of peace aud development. Ho, for a vic? torious futurel The South shall live again. It is the decree of Heave:;. The Suggestion ot thu Kew York World The Question of Negro Suffrage?.De? mocratic Policy In tho South. Our readers will do us tho justice tc admit that whilst this journal, since April, 1868, has beeu Democratic iu itt party relations, it has ever been inda pendent, and taking its motto, not "Dc mocracy, right or wrong," but "Demo cracy wrong, we seek to make it right,' it has essayed to impress those view upon the public mind that it honestly deemed right and practical, without re gard to preconceived views and ideas. Ir. 1868, we not only advocated qualified suf frage for the policy of the South, and thu: moved on in advance of our cotempara' ries, but wo went farther, and announced the opinion that it would be wise ant proper for tho National Democracy tc take tho same position. Had this beer done, we firmly believe that Seymoui and Blair would have beeu elected, on account of the wind that would have beet taken out of the radical sails. So whet time rolled on, and wo saw that tho con trolling voice of tho country had d?cid?e upon unqualified negro suffrage-whet we realized that tho question hud passet beyond the sphere of debate iuto tin sphere of "accomplished facts," iu ordei to be consistent and progressive, as wt conceived it, wo moved on again ir advance of many of our cotemporaries anti before tho reform movemeut wa: projected, wo took the ground that i liberal and progressive and vital Demo cracy should accept in tho South negn suffrage, deem tho matter settled, auc movo ou to "fresh fields and pasture: new." When, therefore, tho Now Yorl World-M wo regard it, tho ablest jour nal iu the country-tells tho people o the South, "in all candor and plainness that they only rivet their chains ly furthe, opposition to negro'jsnffrage," the World i right, in our judgment; but so far as wi are concerned, it is telling us what w knew before, and havo for some timo pro claimed. We take occasion, however, t< commeud to thc public the following ex tract from the World's "friendly words , to the tjouth..". After patting forth the proposition that tho South can only he relieved by the overthrow at the North of the radical party by the Democratic party, ithe World, speaking to ,the Southern people, says : We tell them, therefore, in all candor and plainness, that they only rivet their ohains by further opposition to negro suffrage. It is not by negro votes that they are oppressed, but by white votes. It is vain for them to iuscribe on their political banners that they are a "white man's party," so long ns their tyrants consist of a Congress elected by white votes. Negro suffrage is the result of a white movement. The negroes did not ask for suffrage till the white radicals put it into their heads. Tho negroes would voto rightly enough, if the whito radi? cals did not mislead and deceive them. The infamous reconstruction laws wore passed by a Congress in which the South were not represented at all; by a Con? gress, therefore, which was wholly elected by whito constituents. It is not by negroes that the South is oppressed, but by white men; ita most daugerous enemies are the white radicals of the North; and it is ridiculous to expect re? dress from "a whito man's*party," when a party of white men aro the authors of all the mischief. Is Grant a negro? Is Holden a negro? Was old Thad. Ste? vens a negro, or eleoted by negro con? stituents? Has not Europe groaned for ages under priestly craft and kingly tyranny, without a negro among all her oppressors? Are tho English oppressors of Ireland negroes? Was Poland dis? membered by negroes? Is Cuba held iu subjection by a nation of negroes? Un? fortunately, a great part of human history consists of recituls of white tyranny and oppression; and nothing could be more preposterous than to ex? pect justice from "a white man's party," on tho sole ground that its members arc white. What thc South needs to be rescued from is tho domination of the white radical party of the North, which hue controlled Congress for ten years. Thc Southern people would have no difficulty iu managing the negroes if thoy were freed from white radical interference ex? erted through the Federal Government, In North Caroluia, it is Holden's mar? tial law, backed by Grant's bayonets, thal keeps the State under radical control lu Georgia, the radicals daro not haznrc au election, and the Legislature is pass ing an Aot, under color of Congrcssiona authority, to continuo the present radi cal officers in authority beyond the tern for which they were ohosen. It is no negro voting, but outside Federal pres sure, that is the unmanageable elomen in Southern politics. The only meant of relief is a political revolution in th? North, and Southern Democrats mus concede that our opportunities fo knowing the North are bettor thai theirs. We ask the Southern Democrats to re cognize the fact that the North is tin real battle-ground of political freedon for their section. Hore, where tho vic tory is to be won, if won at all, we havi no uegro voters worth naming. It is i contest between two parties of whit men, and a perpetuation of tho oh quarrel about the rights of the negn only stren ff thens tho enemy. Tho negri question is tho only ono on which tho radi cal party agree; it is their only principli of cohesion. The surest way to prevon the disintegratiou of tho Rep?blica) party is to keep tbat question alive, ant euntiuue to force it upou the country a a political issue. Tho Democrats cai become a majority onlj by drawing ol some Republican votes; but ou the negn issue, the Republican party can casil; hold its own, and so long ns it retaiu the control of Congress, there eau be ni freedom in the South. If that sectioi will heed the timely advice given in th Democratic Congressioual address, am drop "dead issues," wo eau easily rovo lutiouize the lower brauch of Congres in this year's election, now close a hand. We ask the Sonthern Democrats both for their sake and for ours, to pu no obstacle iu the way of our achieviuj this victory. When tho Federal Go vcrument is once more in Democrati bauds, we are quite willing they shoal manage their local politics in their owi way, and will not then intrude upo: them any unwelcome advice. TUE COLORED CADET QUESTION.-It i stated that the report of tho court of IE quiry in the case of tho negro cadel who complains so bitterly of malt:-;al ment by the white cadets, makes a larg volumo amounting to 200 pages.

The Secretary of War will hav a heavy job to digest this immense doct meut about tho suubbing of a negro i the great school of war of this great rt public! It is the most absurd of u radical capers, and will ouly have ou effect, and that is to damage the negro As it is all a Northern affair, we sha see what thoy will make of it.

A conservativo meeting was hold at Alston, yesterday-folly 500 persons being present, one-half of whom were colored. The meeting was called to order by Dr. John Wallace, who intro? duced Judge Carpenter and E. W. Sei bels, Esq. These gentlemen delivered addresses, which wero attentively listened to, and will, doubtless, bo productive of a vast amount of good. The speakers wero interrupted once or twice during their speeches, but adroitly disposed of tho would-be worthy questioners. "Seen x GETTING UP STAIRS."-Capt. George Tupper, a personal friend of Gen. M. C. Butler-justly incensed at the false and maligunnt charges against the former, contained in the Charleston Republican, of tho Otb-met Mr. Morris, (cue of the oorps,) iu the Columbia Hotel, ou the morning of the 7th, aud inquired if he was tho author of the slanderous article. MorriB replied, that he was not the au? thor, but was responsible for the article, whereupon Capt. T. dealt him a blow with his fist, which considerably jarred the frame of tho offeudor; a second blow made him, doubtless, imagine there had been a shock of an earthquake in that I vicinity, aud caused him to reel against a pillar, sending his hat flyingto the other side of tho room. By this time, Mr. I Slanderer seemed to realize the earnest? ness of the assault, and started ou a run for the stairs. As he was about to com? mence tho ascent, a well-directed kick on that portion of his person covered by his coat-tail, expedited his flight materially. When Mr. M. reached the upper floor, ho halted and looked back; and Capt. T. inquired whether he intended returning soon; upon receiving a negative answer, bo directed a waiter to carry the kickee his hat. The accompanying cut illus? trates the attempt of the booted man fan in baud and hair ou end-to reach the stairs. Of course, tho affair will be chrouicled as "an attack by a Democrat upon a Republican, for daring to criti? cise acaudidute," when, in reality, it was the merited punishment of a traveling ponuy-a-linor, of the Dugald Dalgotty order of human nature, by u native-born gentleman, who well knows how to treat such creatures. Within an hour after the occurrence, Capt. Tupper was arrest? ed on the complaint of Morris, and bonded for appearance in Court, and to keep the peace, in the sum of $500. PHONIXIANA.-The store of Messrs. Lcaphart & Sloan, ou Assembly street, was entered, on Saturday night; but the burglar obtaiued but slight reward for his labor-only a side of bacon being missed, so far. Au accident of a painful nature occur? red on the South Carolina Railroad, on Sunday last, near Adams' Cut. A col? ored man attempted to jump off thc train, while it was in motion, when he was thrown down and ono of his legs so bad? ly crushed ns to necessitate amputation; ho was also otherwise injured. The wounded man was brought to Columbia and placed in tho hospital, where Dr. Cornwell is bestowing the necessary at? tention. An advertisement from Mr. George Huggins, the veteran insurance agent, appears in this morning's PHOENIX. Mr. Huggins has been in this business near? ly a quarter of a century, and conse? quently is thoroughly au fail in it.
